One day after their win over AEK Athens, PAOK players returned to Toumba and trained split into two groups. Those who started on Wednesday did recuperation work with gym drills and jogging. The remaining players trained normally and their session consisted of reduced-pitch games and exercises of ball passing and tactics.

Miguel Vítor started his recover program and he will undergo further medical tests on Friday to assess his condition. Róbert Mak stayed at home, as he is still trying to shake off a viral infection. Dimitar Berbatov followed normal training but in low intensity.

Friday’s training session will start at 18:00 in Nea Mesimvria.
